What to do when waiting on God

Discouraged and feel like giving up? Sneak away to your safe place and curl up as you bask in his presence while you read.

Run like Joseph…

Run like Joseph! That was the retort from my young adult daughter during a conversation with a youth group. They were discussing the temptations that exist in our society. Her retort was based on Joseph’s actions when confronted by Bathsheba’s seduction.

Pray Like David

Personally when life starts with its craziness, discouragement, sadness, tragedies and more, my retort is to “Pray like David”. In making decisions I found that David consistently consulted with the Lord before he acted. He never did anything without first asking the Lord. He beseeched the Lord for his guidance on whether he should pursue his enemy, make certain moves, fight or flight.

David then listened for the Lord’s leading and as he obeyed, he consistently enjoyed the fruits of success. Today I encourage you that whatever situation you’re in, be it decision-making, entrepreneurship venture, relationship, financial or mental hardship, take it to the Lord in prayer. Then wait patiently as you listen for his answer. As you obey his guidance and direction, be sure that you will enjoy success.

Be encouraged, the Lord may be long but he’s never late. So pray like David did.

Blessings overflow.

Sunday Is Coming…

Wait for it. Wait for it.

It was Friday. Sad day….or so we thought. Our performance moved the congregants as we re-enacted the soldiers mocking nuances. Such humiliation none should ever experience.

Sunday

But then came Sunday. The discovery of an empty tomb. It was that sure Safe Place for many. Delights, glee, joy and praise rang out as the congregants worshipped aloud.

Yes Friday was sad. But together we rejoice as Sunday the promise shone brightly.

My Safe Place is the new release that provides short stories, exhortations and prayers for difficult journeys. Snatch your copy and experience his Grace.

Stay blessed

When You Can’t See, Trust Him…

Fear gripped me. A 2-hour journey turned into three as clouds stormed. The foggy skies were comfortless. Visibility was almost naught as the storm pounded. Headlights shone brightly as my hands held the car firm. My commute slowed as my heart panicked. I began to Pray. Then prayed louder with a shout and asked “what’s happening Lord?” Suddenly the rain slowed. Though it didn’t stop, I began to see. Alone, I praised as never before. Highway praise!

The Fog

Experiencing a season of storm in your life? Hold firmly onto our heavenly father. Pray without ceasing. When you cannot see what lies ahead, trust him. He will work things out for your good.

Blessings overflow.

Out Of Our Brokenness…

Jesus says to us, “Place who you are and what you have in My hands. Your broken life. Your story. Your frailty and your failure, your pain and your suffering. Put it in My hands. You’ll be surprised what I can do with it.” Jesus knows that out of our emptiness, He can bring fullness. Out of our weakness, He can reveal His strength.

Dear Jesus, take my “not enough” and make it “more than enough.” Take my pain, my failure, and my frailty, and make it something more.

Except from our daily bread. May you be encouraged.

Nature’s Getaway…

Ever noticed when we want a getaway long or short term we run to Nature?

To the beach,

Camping in the woods,

Boating, scuba-diving and Kayaking

Retreats in solace,

Long Walks in the meadows

Today, take time to look around you. The birds, bees speaks of his glorious creation.

Oh come let us adore him!

Peace

Your Body Is The Temple. Treat It Right….

Your body is his temple.
Treat it right. Exercise. Eat right.
Think pure thoughts.
Breathe
Inhale positivity.
Exhale negativity.
Read the word.
Let it sink in.

Use What Is Left…

Arise, use what is left. So what if your joy isn’t what it used to be? Use what is left. So what if your desire is dampened? Take hold of what is left. So what if your power is almost gone? Seize what is left and be what God said you could be. Don’t let circumstances abort your dream. Release your anointing. ~T.D. Jakes

Those words spoke to me. T. D. Jakes shared instances of biblical characters to shed the light.

Samson after he lost his sight gave what he had left

David with Goliath and his stones gave what he had left

Paul after he was shipwrecked used what he had left to get to the shore …a simple board

So today if you’re going through stuff, take heart. Be courageous and use what you have left to accomplish your victory. Strengthen what remains.

5 Reasons God Closes Doors…

Closed doors offer lots to learn. Though disappointed with delays, may we follow his lead. Charles Stanley’s In Touch With Him posited that God can use our desires to teach us his ways.

Here I share his teachings as a personal reminder to always trust him as we seek his guidance.
